[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1773770, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/carlson-goldschmidt-flex-their-power-to-vaporize-five-run-deficit-lead-cardinals-comeback-win/article_0074a8fd-4564-5887-adff-78264b88cbe4.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/dgoold']Derrick Goold[/URL] When Dylan Carlson felt his hamstring come apart it was just as his game was starting to come together. The Cardinals’ switch-hitting outfielder, who arrived into his third season in the majors on a gust of last summer’s strong finish, had a .175 batting average on May Day. He spent the next three weeks yanking that average up, batting .333 over his next 19 games, and mirroring that steady pulse of performance the Cardinals saw in last season’s final two months and craved to lengthen and enliven their lineup. Everything was running in the right direction, until he could not run at all. Back after spending three weeks recovering from a torn hamstring, Carlson kept the heat up on his swing even as he iced his muscle. Carlson connected for a three-run homer Monday that punctuated the Cardinals’ rally from a five-run deficit and lifted them toward a 7-5 victory against Pittsburgh at Busch Stadium. Carlson doubled to create the Cardinals' final run. His homer completed a five-run inning in the sixth ignited by Paul Goldschmidt’s leadoff double. Goldschmidt broke the tie with a solo homer to lead off the seventh inning. Pittsburgh starter Mitch Keller had confounded the Cardinals as his teammates built a 5-0 lead through five innings. When a pair of hits, including Goldschmidt’s double, chased him, the Cardinals pounced on reliever Anthony Banda, the only lefty in the Bucs’ bullpen. Left-handed hitter Brendan Donovan narrowed the Pirates’ lead with a two-run double, and the inning found Carlson with two teammates on base. From the right side, he launched the first pitch he saw into the Cardinals’ bullpen for a tie game. [/QUOTE]
